It is observed that in case of a monofractal object sample fractal dimension may be equal to tthe fractal dimension of the object. For example in the case of an irregular curve which is monofractal in nature the fractal dimension of any section of the curve is equal to the fractal dimension of the curve. But otherwise, when the curve is of multifractal nature the segments of the curve may show different fractal and multifractal dimensions. In the present paper the distribution of fractal dimensions of the sample segments is discussed.
